The Board's procurement section provides schools and other Board users with a professional procurement service. In fulfilling this remit the section is responsible for the acquisition of a wide range of goods and services.
Tenders
Tenders are let on a call off basis and administered on
behalf of schools and Board budget-holders. Details of these
are available to schools through the Board extranet. The five
education and library boards operate a system of joint
tenders whereby one board administers a tender on behalf of
all five boards. The majority of tenders are let on this
basis.
The procurement section seeks to achieve best value for money
for schools and budget-holders mindful of the need to
maintain the highest level of safety standards and comply
with all relevant legislation. Currently the Board operates a
system of open competitive tendering for goods and services
with a foreseeable value greater than £30,000. These are
locally advertised and available on this website (TENDERS).
Tenders with an expected value greater than £144,000 are also
advertised in the Official Journal of the European
Union.
Quotations
For purchases of an expected value greater than £1,500 but
less than £30,000 the procurement section will seek
quotations from a number of firms who could reasonably be
expected to supply such goods. The items concerned vary
according to the changing needs of the Board. For complex
requirements it is advised that schools avail of the
services of the Board's procurement section.
Orders
The procurement section in consultation with school
principals and Board advisors is responsible for the
placement of orders with contracted suppliers for the
initial equipping and if appropriate the refurbishment of
schools.
Advice and assistance is offered to principals and school
staff with regard to ordering procedures and the section
is available to ensure that non-contract items are
sourced in accordance with Board quotation and tendering
procedures.
Logistics
The section is also available to assist with the
collection and disposal of unwanted items of furniture
and equipment in accordance with Board policy and other
legislative requirements.
